Inspired originally by a comment from Lorebass, I'd like to announce the great secret league prediction competition. The open league has been rolling for a few weeks now and to celebrate the first team (Khorne) reaching 100 played games, it's time to get your thinking caps on and predict which 3 teams will be top and which 3 teams will be bottom of Koadah's rankings page by the end of the year.
We've seen a handful of games played by teams at mostly <1300k TV. Who will dominate at mid TV? High TV?
The Rules
One entry per person
Only teams in the Secret League division will be counted.
Entries must be posted in this thread
Entries should be posted by copying and pasting this format:
1st:
2nd:
3rd:
2 from Last:
1 from Last:
Last:
They should also include the words "brown m&ms" to indicate you have fully read this post.
Any ambiguity in your post means it's possible I will misunderstand your order and this might result in you losing out (too bad) or doing better than you would of (huzzah).
Entries are recorded here. Once recorded in my notes, it is only possible to change your order by sending me a PM. I will gladly change your order but will not be combing through old threads to check they match up.
Entries must be posted by 31st July at 23.59 bbtime
Note: some rosters may experience changes to their rules at the discretion of the Secret League administrators. In addition, some currently unplayable or non-existent rosters may be added. Predictions should be made based upon the currently playable rosters.
The Scoring System
Koadah's power rankings will be consulted in the morning of January first and these will be the final standings for the competition.
The difference between each predicted position and each actual positions will be calculated and added together. The person with the lowest score wins.
Example: Say you predicted Nauticans to finish as the top team and at the end of the year they were fourth (a likely scenario). Your score for this prediction would be 3.
The Prize
3 FUMBBL Block Dice and 3 poker chips from the 2012 pledge drive mailed free of charge to your elven tower, dwarf mine or snotling cemetary.
Get those thinking caps on. And you can't swing it for yourself by saying ogres #1 as sadly they're not an SL team |

Quick point of reference. When compiling your bottom 3, I'm assuming the bottom team on that list to be your pick for bottom place. Should have made that clear, apologies. Please edit if needs be. |

I'll put my thinking cap on for this. My FUMBBL dice have been used so often I'm considering retiring them, the paint is so smudged.  |

You missed out on both the fumbbl dice & t-shirt events in the past. Stick around as I'm sure, based on our history here, there WILL likely be another fumbbl swag event. Eventually...
P.s. If u really want them, I bet eBay has some up for sale OR some coach here has extras they are willing to sell. I've only one set, sorry. |
